Synopsis:
Piers are the ultimate interface between land and water. They are the connection between port cities and the planet. Their accessibility has been a key indicator for the evolution of the port-city relationship. They changed from being accessible in the past, to gradually becoming off-limits. Fortunately, there is an ongoing tendency to reopen the piers, establishing a new kind of port-city relationship. How permeable are these relationships today? What flows are shaping these interactions? How are port cities presenting local answers to global trends? How do they fit together? And how are ports reopening their piers?
The AIVP World Conferences Cities & Ports, organized by the International Association of Port Cities (AIVP), are a flagship event that brings together key players from the global port and urban world. These conferences provide a unique platform to share best practices, explore emerging trends, and discuss common challenges facing modern port cities.
Each edition of the AIVP World Conferences Cities & Ports highlights crucial topics such as integrated urban management, sustainable development of port cities, technological innovation, urban-port connectivity, and much more. Through plenary sessions, interactive workshops, field visits, and networking opportunities, participants are immersed in a dynamic environment conducive to the exchange of ideas and the creation of strategic partnerships.
